Sick of getting dicked around on this. 7K.
No time to drive it... here's the FS thread.
-----
Finally going to part with my baby. Working multiple jobs right now, so NO time to drive it anymore, and it's time to move on.
Car is STUPID fast. Has easily outpaced SVT Contours, Honda S2K's, G35's, Mustang GT's, 5.0's couple of SRT-8's... basically anything that's been thrown at it. Yeah it has some losses too of course (vettes, etc)...
VERY torquey (more than my G35 Coupe), SUPER responsive to throttle inputs for many reasons, and basically fully optimized!
Comes with winter tires on stock rims too.
This car also has even more power under the hood if you want to move to a SVT Lightning MAF, 24# injectors, and re-tune it, but it's PLENTY fast as is.
Finally, car is an ABSOLUTE blast to drive. Throw it into a corner HARD, and stomp on it! The limited slip diff pulls you through, and the balance is SO neutral you always feel completely safe. Very tossable, very fun! ;)
